Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Almere City FC 1.68 xG and FC OSS 1.09 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Almere City FC attack 1.095 / defence 0.930 | FC OSS attack 0.781 / defence 1.005. League average goals — home 1.526 / away 1.508. Data: 33 Almere City FC games / 71 FC OSS games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Almere City FC 51% | Draw 24% | FC OSS 25%. Fair-value odds: Almere City FC 1.96 | Draw 4.17 | FC OSS 4.00. Almere City FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.77. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.77 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
